Impulse bargain buying...???

MoaningMyrtle

I do this as long as I have room to store it. So one week I may get loads of washing powder/deodorant/coffee etc. (Tried the gloop but didn't get on with it) but not much else. Other weeks I may just get a few fresh foods.

I do this all the time! In fact, I've bought things today that I don't need now but will at some point in the future just because they were on offer. I have three crates of non-perishables in my shed, as we are moving to a remote village in a few months time so in fact I am forward planning in case we get snowed in in the winter (at least that's what I've told DH who doesn't get my "just-in-case" stash at all!)

Hi

Yes I do this I always have an eye open as I go round the shops and if it is something I will genuinely use then I will get as much as I can at the bargain price,

Today for example the Co-op had persil washig up liquid at 50p instead of £1 so I bought 4 bottles and will get another 4 in the next day or two.

I do the same, i bought 4 bottles of dove shampoo in asda before, they were £1.20 instead of £2.37 and i have a voucher so worked out even cheaper i have plenty of andrex loo roll at the moment too as that was on offer a while back

If I see something that I use and want and it is on a syperb price then I will buy it and in quantity if they have it and if it is storable as well..

There's a reason I stay off the grabbit bit of this forum...........it was costing me an absolute fortune.

If it's stuff that we are going to use then yes, I do. Haven't bought any washing powder or liquid for I don't know how long as bought the Method one when they had it in for £1.50 at HB to add to the Ecover I got at a clearance price elsewhere. Also have a huge stockppile of Regina kitchen towels bought at £1 instead of £3. Should say I've only done this as I had the money to do it at the time. Don't bargain buy on things we won't use.

Whenever I see something I use on offer then I'll buy as many as I can afford.
Cheap marmite would definitely have been in my basket.

Yes please do tell, our household goes through about a jar every week!

There was a time where I bought an own brand and it was acceptable.
